> everybody's scrolling through their feeds already on their smart phones already

It's kinda weird to me that this feels so dystopian.

Before smartphones it's not like I was sitting there appreciating the world around me. I was just bored and unhappy. Now I'm paying my bills, watching funny videos, looking up interesting things about something I heard about earlier in the day, etc.

But still, there's something off-putting about a group of strangers doing something mundane like waiting for a bus and staring at their phones the whole time.
